ac usation flied catcher s1, leis. serial is. semen To all in am it may concern:

Be it known thatl, SAMUEL Hermann, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city-:of New York, borough of Brook'- lyn, in the county Of'Kings and State of New York, have proved GordLead, of which the following invented a new and in is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in guides or leads for coed, cables and the like, and has for an obiect to provide an im proved construction designed to lead or guide a cable from one side of the wall to the other so that the Wall will normally be closed and solid but a free passageway will nether object in view is to provide a guidingmember for a cord which will freely allow the passage of the cord, and which will positively guide the same adjacent each face of the wall so that the cord may not tangle during a quick movement through the device.

In the accompanying drawings-Figure 1 .is a fragmentary sectional view through a wall with an embodiment of the invention a plied thereto; Fig. Elie an enlarged longitudinal vertical section through an embodiment of the invention; Fig. 3 is a front view of the structure shown in Fig. 2.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals, 1 indicates Wall of any. desired construction through which it is de signed to pass a rope or cable 2.

In various buildings where numbers of people are employed, it is sometimes desirable to look a Window shutter, a door, or

other member in an open position by means of a cable similar to cable 2 which is passed into the interior of the building. In cases of this kind the door, Window, or the like automatically closes when the cable or cord is released. This releasing may be done manually, but is usually arranged so that if there is a fire in a given room the cord will be burned and thus the cord will be released automatically and the door or Window shut tcr will be closed automatically for ing the spread of fire.

In constructing a device according to the present invention it is aimed to provide means in the Wall for guiding a cord or cai ble of the kind above mentioned so that when the same is burned or released by any means the cable will freely pass through the prevcnt- 3 of the device is tubular and extends from one side of the Wall to the other. It is evident thatother shapes of body could be provided, but this has been found convenient as it readily adapts itself to receiving nuts 4 and 5, which act as retaining means, and also as means for givin a'finsh. to thc device at each end. Pre erably, the body ,3 is cast though it may be made in any other suitable Way. However, during the casting or other mode-of manufacture the body 3 is made with a plurality of lugs or projections 6 which may be of any height and any number. These lugs are designed to prevent any 'rotative motion, and in fact prevent substantially any motion of the device when once in position. In applying the device a hole is madein the wall which may be brick, wood or other material, and then the body 3 is inserted, after which plaster or other fillin means may be used if desired. Finally, the ends Fl: and 5 are placed in position and tightened by a suitable wrench, as for instance a spanner wrench fitting in the apertures 7 When the body 3 is made from tubular material a square tubular member 8 is fitted therein and the ends 9 and 10 of body 3 bent over for firmly holding the tube 8 in place, and for presenting smooth even ends. Before tube 8 is arranged in the body 3, rollers 11, 12, 13 and 14 are placed in position in. the tube and pintles arranged therein which extend into or through the tube 8.

Preferably the rollers 11 and 12 are sctf at" right angles to rollers 13 and 14: In form ing these rollers a substantially circular passageway the same being caused by the grooved portion of the rollers and the arrangement:

thereof.

What I claim isis provided as shown in Fig. 3,.

1. In a device of'the character described,

a body formed with a plurality of spurs orf projections for holding the same in place, a pair of end nuts for preventing longitudinal movement of said body, and a cable guiding means in said body.

52. In a device oi the character a body, means arranged at the ends of said body acting as stops for preventing longitudinal movement of said body, pipe arranged in said body, and a pair of rollers arranged in each end of said pipe, pair of rollers being arranged at subone stantially right angles to the other pair. I

described,

a polygonal 3. In a. device of the character described, a body provided with lugs 01' spucs, a nut arranged at each end of said body for preventing longitudinal movement of said body, v

rollers being arranged at right angles to the 10 other pair.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
